The Impact of the Support Offered to Young People under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development. Second Report of Outcome Indicators Measurement

In this report we assess the effectiveness of support addressed to the NEET youth, i.e. people neither in employment nor in education, aged 15-29. The support was provided under Priority Axis I of the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development. The report consists of three analyses: (1) the outcome indicator survey for which the situation of individuals is analysed 6 months after the end of participation in the Project – this is the second edition of this study; (2) the panel study of respondents who participated in the first indicator survey last year and were surveyed again 18 months after the end of participation in the Project; (3) the analysis of net effectiveness of support, which used administrative data from the unemployment register. The analyses show that the Project helps young people to find a job, compared to standard support offered by the PES. The support from the Program is particularly effective for people in a difficult situation in the labour market.
